        <p>This Tutorial shows how to move and animate SceneNodes. The basic concept 
          of SceneNodeAnimators is shown as well as manual movement of nodes using 
          the keyboard.</p>
        <p>The program which is described here will look like this:</p>

        <p>In this tutorial, one of our goals is to move a scene node using some 
          keys on the keyboard. We store a pointer to the scene node we want to 
          move with the keys here.<br>
          The other pointer is a pointer to the Irrlicht Device, which we need 
          int the EventReceiver to manipulate the scene node and to get the active 
          camera.</p>
        <table width="95%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" align="center">
          <tr> 
            <td> <pre>scene::ISceneNode* node = 0;<br>IrrlichtDevice* device = 0; </pre></td>
          </tr>
        </table>
        <p>To get events like mouse and keyboard input, or GUI events like &quot;the 
          OK button has been clicked&quot;, we need an object wich is derived 
          from the IEventReceiver object. There is only one method to override: 
          OnEvent. This method will be called by the engine when an event happened. 
          We will use this input to move the scene node with the keys W and S.</p>
        <table width="95%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" align="center">
          <tr> 
            <td> <pre>class MyEventReceiver : public IEventReceiver<br>{<br>public:<br>	virtual bool OnEvent(const SEvent&amp; event)<br>	{ </pre></td>
          </tr>
        </table>
        <p>If the key 'W' or 'S' was left up, we get the position of the scene 
          node, and modify the Y coordinate a little bit. So if you press 'W', 
          the node moves up, and if you press 'S' it moves down.</p>
        <table width="95%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" align="center">
          <tr> 
            <td> <pre>if (node != 0 &amp;&amp; event.EventType == irr::EET_KEY_INPUT_EVENT&amp;&amp;<br>			!event.KeyInput.PressedDown)<br>{<br>		switch(event.KeyInput.Key)<br>		{<br>		case KEY_KEY_W:<br>		case KEY_KEY_S:<br>			{<br>				core::vector3df v = node-&gt;getPosition();<br>				v.Y += event.KeyInput.Key == KEY_KEY_W ? 2.0f : -2.0f;<br>				node-&gt;setPosition(v);<br>			}<br>			return true;<br>		}<br>} return false; <br> } <br> };</pre></td>
          </tr>
        </table>
        
      </div>
      <p>The event receiver for moving a scene node is ready. So lets just create 
        an Irrlicht Device and the scene node we want to move. We also create 
        some other additional scene nodes, to show that there are also some different 
        possibilities to move and animate scene nodes.</p>
      <table width="95%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" align="center">
        <tr> 
          <td><pre>int main()<br>{<br>   MyEventReceiver receiver;
   
  device = createDevice(video::EDT_OPENGL, core::dimension2d&lt;s32&gt;(640, 480),
       16, false, false, false, &amp;receiver);</pre>
            <pre>   video::IVideoDriver* driver = device-&gt;getVideoDriver();
   scene::ISceneManager* smgr = device-&gt;getSceneManager();</pre>
            </td>
        </tr>
      </table>
      <p> Create the node for moving it with the 'W' and 'S' key. We create a 
        sphere node, which is a built in geometric primitive scene node.
        We place the node at (0,0,30) and assign a texture to it to let it look 
        a little bit more interesting.</p>
      <table width="95%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" align="center">
        <tr> 
          <td><pre>node = smgr-&gt;addSphereSceneNode();
node-&gt;setPosition(core::vector3df(0,0,30));
node-&gt;setMaterialFlag(video::EMF_LIGHTING, false);
node-&gt;setMaterialTexture(0, driver-&gt;getTexture(&quot;../../media/wall.bmp&quot;));</pre></td>
        </tr>
      </table>
      <p>Now we create another node, moving using a scene node animator. Scene 
        node animators modify scene nodes and can be attached to any scene node 
        like<br>
        mesh scene nodes, billboards, lights and even camera scene nodes. Scene 
        node animators are not only able to modify the position of a scene node, 
        they can<br>
        also animate the textures of an object for example. We create a test scene 
        node again an attach a 'fly circle' scene node to it, letting this node 
        fly around our first test scene node.</p>
      <table width="95%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" align="center">
        <tr> 
          <td><pre>scene::ISceneNode* n = smgr-&gt;addCubeSceneNode();
n-&gt;setMaterialTexture(0, driver-&gt;getTexture(&quot;../../media/t351sml.jpg&quot;));
n-&gt;setMaterialFlag(video::EMF_LIGHTING, false);
scene::ISceneNodeAnimator* anim = 
	smgr-&gt;createFlyCircleAnimator(core::vector3df(0,0,30), 20.0f);
n-&gt;addAnimator(anim);
anim-&gt;drop();</pre></td>
        </tr>
      </table>
      <p>The last scene node we add to show possibilities of scene node animators 
        is a md2 model, which uses a 'fly straight' animator to run between to 
        points.</p>
      <table width="95%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" align="center">
        <tr> 
          <td> <pre>scene::IAnimatedMeshSceneNode* anms = smgr-&gt;addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(<br>		smgr-&gt;getMesh(&quot;../../media/sydney.md2&quot;));

if (n)<br>	{<br>		anim = smgr-&gt;createFlyStraightAnimator(core::vector3df(100,0,60), <br>			core::vector3df(-100,0,60), 10000, true);<br>		anms-&gt;addAnimator(anim);<br>		anim-&gt;drop();</pre>
            </td>
        </tr>
      </table>
      <p>To make to model look right we set the frames between which 
        the animation should loop, rotate the model around 180 degrees, and adjust 
        the animation speed and the texture.<br>
        To set the right animation (frames and speed), we would also be able to 
        just call &quot;anms-&gt;setMD2Animation(scene::EMAT_RUN)&quot; for the 
        'run' animation instead of &quot;setFrameLoop&quot; and &quot;setAnimationSpeed&quot;, 
        but this only works with MD2 animations, and so you know how to start 
        other animations.</p>
      <table width="95%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" align="center">
        <tr> 
          <td> <pre>   anms-&gt;setMaterialFlag(video::EMF_LIGHTING, false);<br>   anms-&gt;setFrameLoop(320, 360);
   anms-&gt;setAnimationSpeed(30);<br>   anms-&gt;setRotation(core::vector3df(0,180.0f,0));<br>   anms-&gt;setMaterialTexture(0, driver-&gt;getTexture(&quot;../../media/sydney.bmp&quot;));<br>}<br></pre></td>
        </tr>
      </table>
      <p>To be able to look at and move around in this scene, we create a first 
        person shooter style camera and make the mouse cursor invisible.</p>
      <table width="95%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" align="center">
        <tr> 
          <td> <pre>smgr-&gt;addCameraSceneNodeFPS(0, 100.0f, 100.0f);<br>device-&gt;getCursorControl()-&gt;setVisible(false); </pre></td>
        </tr>
      </table>
      <p>We have done everything, so lets draw it. We also write the current frames 
        per second and the name of the driver to the caption of the window.</p>
      <table width="95%" border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" align="center">
        <tr> 
          <td> <pre>int lastFPS = -1;</pre>
            <pre>while(device-&gt;run())
{
     driver-&gt;beginScene(true, true, video::SColor(255,90,90,156));
     smgr-&gt;drawAll();
     driver-&gt;endScene();</pre>
            <pre>     int fps = driver-&gt;getFPS();</pre>
            <pre>     if (lastFPS != fps)
     {
        wchar_t tmp[1024];
        swprintf(tmp, 1024, L&quot;Movement Example - Irrlicht Engine (%ls)(fps:%d)&quot;,<br>        driver-&gt;getName(), fps);</pre>
            <pre>       device-&gt;setWindowCaption(tmp);
       lastFPS = fps;
     }
}

device-&gt;drop();<br>return 0;<br>}</pre></td>
        </tr>

      <p>That's it. Compile and play around with the program. </p>
